Daddy Draws© – Episode 003 – The Dancing Egg and the Fuzzy Monkey on the Purple Banana

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Daddy Draws!!© This is Episode 3 of the video feature in which I draw whatever my lovely daughters Joanna and Ashley tell me to draw. Both the videos and the final artwork will be posted here in the blog.

In today’s episode it is only Ashley telling me what to draw as Joanna was out playing with her friends.
We are drawing two things – one a sunny side up egg with a top hat doing a little dance number, and secondly a fuzzy monkey riding a purple flying banana. There were some unexpected interruptions by two- and four-legged friends and neighbors and a parade of characters walked through my studio as we were trying to maintain our usual Fellini-esque production standards, therefore 30 seconds from the middle of the video have been left on the cutting room floor, to safeguard the esteemed viewers sanity.

Ballpoint Pen Telephone Doodle by Ian Marsden

Monday, April 28th, 2008

When I am on the phone I am almost always doodling. Sometimes it’s just cubes and geometric 3D shapes, sometimes it’s plants growing all over the page and sometimes I just start a drawing without thinking. I have no idea what it’s going to end up being until I hang up the phone….

This example demonstrates this habit quite nicely:

I am usually always doodling. Always have been. If I am on hold on the phone or even watching TV I like to scribble away.

I find that a ball point pen is quite fun to do really fast sketches and fine hatching.

I can go through these so fast you can see the ink go down in the back.
